Purpose: The device sends the midi cc value specified in a live.numbox on cc# 56 when the device's track is selected.

The device works fine when I first place it on tracks.

Problem: Once I save the Ableton set and reopen the set: device won't not work.

If I open the device in Max then close the device such that I'm back in ableton....the device works fine.....until I close the project....in which case it won't work until I open it in Max and close it again. etc... etc...

Totally stumped. I froze the device and still won't work.

Any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

After more debugging, it seems that if two or more of this device are used in a set they somehow interfear with each other. The above stated issue does not happen if only 1 device is used in a set

Any idea why this is happening and how to correct it?

I think I found the issue. There was a logic error in the IF statement that was raised when you click on a track with the same device on it.

2 if THIS track is selected, senf it's ID as CC# 56 value

you only observe selected track, twice...

1 you want THIS track ID
2 if THIS track is selected, senf it's ID as CC# 56 value

Is that right ?
you only observe selected track, twice...


Actually, that's kind of right. It's really:

1: if the track the device is on is selected then generate a bang which sendsa midi cc value that the user specifies in a text box.

I was thinking 1) observe the track twice, 2) use an IF statement to compare the same 2 values which would 3) trigger a bang that sends the MIDI cc value. I thought it was overly complicated when I thought of it but can't discover another way to do it.

Can you kindly advise how I can trigger a bang when the track a device is on is selected?

here is one example, sends THIS track id as CC# 56 value when track containing this device gets selected

if you want to send different value instead , insert that live.number

Many thanks! I was able to use your patcher as a model to get it done. For those interested see attached.
